I absent-mindedly threw my robe on the shelf behind us and broke the champagne glasses and THEN, my robe caught on fire from the candles! Needless to say, I'm sure the maid was wondering what the hell went on the night before when I left her a note asking for a new robe because we had a little "accidento"!! Hahaha!! That is hilarious We're banning any "relations" this month, so maybe despite the tiredness of the eventful wedding day we can still muster the energy to do somethin-somethin'... which reminds me, i still need to get some decent night time wear

Ugh, emotions...why can't men be like this...worried about all the details & just for 1 day it not be me. I know exactly how you feel!! I just want to be on the beach so bad now!!! Starting not to care about the details.... (but at the same time I do care, so have to take care of it all )

Thanks for the comments ladies! Kinda cool that you are there at the same time Malisa, feel free to drop by and have a drink with us if you'd like!

Definitely need to get my dress on the show us your wedding dress link before I get married next month! This is my second dress as I decided that I disliked my first crinkly taffeta dress. This dress is from Aria in LA

Can this May 2010 Brides thread lurker be added to the list as well ? Sita&Nate (Christine) May 5th, 2010 La Zebra Tulum I've been mostly quiet on BDW, but you guys sure brighten up my days with your banter

And to add, I usually hate strapless bras because they don't hold up well on me, but this, is boned in the back and stays on really well and I can see myself wearing this under lots of tops I couldn't wear that well before I bought this!!

I like how they look practicle yet sexy. Hi Skadow, Yes, I did order one of these less than two months ago. My dress was just slightly too loose at the top that if I wore these, I wouldn't have to get any alterations done on the top (if I did get it altered, my dress may have ended up too tight!!). It's kind of hard to explain, but I have a long thin-ish torso. The company was great, shipped pretty fast and gave you a tracking number. I was happy with their service. I know David's Bridal carries something similar from Felina's but this ended up being 10 dollars cheaper, and besides I live in Canada (no David's bridal) so I'd have to drive to the Seattle to hunt it down which I didn't have time for! Good luck with finding the right under stuff

I am wearing this under my dress corset-y like thing from Felina's under my dress. It gives good support (although I am only a B cup!!) and does not slip or roll. Essential Seamless Hidden Wire Bustier - DesignerIntimates.com

Hi Maili, I am going to get married at La Zebra in about 2 weeks. I started planning the wedding less than 2 months ago at La Zebra (was originally going to get married at the resort). I have been working with Marion at Destination Weddings Tulum and the funny thing is when we spoke on the phone the other day, I discovered she is from France!! (where I see you are from as well?) She has been a pleasure to work with so far. I cannot say what La Zebra is like exactly as I have never been in person, but Marion reassured it me it is perfect for an intimate wedding (we have a group of 21). You can link to my planning thread below. Good luck with whatever you decide!!

Hahaha! I have trained my FI to display a more appropriate level of interest in wedding things now. It took a while though

Danielle, Really sorry to hear that your FI's stepdad passed away, that must be super emotional for the family. I am likely free for some drinks/meet up April 21st or 22nd evening tho, getting so close to the wedding (flying out to Mexico may 2nd), need some decompressing time!!

Wow, Karen! Super Sexy and smokin' hot!!! I so wanna do a shoot but don't have time before the wedding Will have to wait until after I guess!

I think the bracelet will totally work - pearls are usually sort of ivory and I don't think it'll clash at all. And your OOT bags are adorable - what an incredible gift from your friend! Congrats on getting it all done! Karen, thank you for your comments I am getting really excited... can't believe I will finally be able to enjoy Mexico with FI, and our families and friends in like 3 short weeks. We got legally married yesterday afternoon, will post pictures soon!

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Everything looks great and so well-planned. Have a wonderful time I know... people call it wedding crack. We're all addicted!

I really enjoyed your pictures! Thank you for sharing

I debated back and forth about pashminas. I finally decided to get them after the wedding coordinator told me it can be cool and windy at night in Tulum. I am so glad I have them now . Although I wasn't able to get them in my weddng colors per se, I still love them--I have a darker lavender color and a light olive green.

I am going to integrate my escort/seating cards with my thank you cards. I found some 3x5 trifold pretty cards that will allow me to stamp out the person's name and write a message inside. Then again, I only have 19 guests, so its doable to write them all at once now I want to thank them for coming to the wedding on the wedding day so we don't have to do it after!

Wow! You are getting married in 3 months!! So excited for you

Happy Planning and enjoy the forum!!!

Congratulations! I hope it was one of the best days ever (if not the best)!

You will love it here! Happy Planning

It's sometime been a wild roller coaster ride planning a destination wedding! Congratulations & Enjoy!
